We confuse being confusing with being poetic. This is a fatal mistake. Honor strangeness in the lyrical, and reject the sanctioned rules of prose--but do not think poetry is not about precision. It is precision itself.

Now is the time for indie filmmakers to make their movie. It has never been easier for indies to compete with the major leagues. We released TWO films during the pandemic and SO many people saw and supported them, even when we were literally up against JAMES BOND. Go make movies!

“This is not a bipartisan crisis. The Republican Party welcomed Trump into their ranks and indulged and excused him for four years. They nurtured the movement that led to the attack on the Capitol.” @SeanIlling via @Voxdotcom vox.com/policy-and-politics/…

Appalling and frightening. We must face this and not look away. This needs to be defeated. This insurrection must be punished. There must be accountability. This movement must be crushed. It is unamerican, autocratic and racist.
The new Post poll has some awful findings among Republicans: 51% say GOP leaders didn't go far enough in nullifying election 56% say Trump bears zero blame for the insurrection 66% say he has acted responsibly Behold the GOP's authoritarian core: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Chilling: @DCPoliceDept officer Michael Fanone said on CNN that rioters went for his gun, saying “Kill him with his own gun”. He told CNN, “It was all about self preservation...I “appealed to their humanity...I just remember yelling out I have kids”

If you don't have the guts to vote for impeachment because you're afraid to stand up to terrorists, you don't deserve to serve in Congress. Grow some balls or resign.

Vice President Mike Pence, not President Trump, approved the order to deploy the D.C. National Guard on Wednesday, defense and administration officials said. It was unclear why the president, who is still the commander in chief, did not give the order. nytimes.com/2021/01/06/us/po…

Tonight's episode of #SMASH was probably my favorite yet! Kudos to @paul_mcguigan and @SmallMotorSkill!

It's hard to believe this is the last Super Bowl in the pre-Smash era.

I just watched the pilot for SMASH. Bad news, everyone -- it's not about The Hulk.
